KFC unveils ‘Saucy’, a new tender chicken concept restaurant that promises 11 unique sauces

The Kentucky Fried Fallout

The Colonel has dominated the fast-food chicken landscape since the 1930s, but now, nearly 100 years later, it’s booming. Say hello to Saucy, a new concept from KFC.

What is Saucy?

Saucy is a new type of KFC restaurant. Rather than an entire menu built around fried chicken, Saucy will focus on chicken tenders and be built around sauce. 11 of them, to be exact. They have a thing for this number, what with that secret blend of herbs and spices and all. You can also expect 11 signature drinks, like Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava “Refreshers,” Peach-Mango Lemonade, and more.

How is Saucy different from KFC?

Tenders are your only option here, so enjoy a surge of sauces and take a trip. “Everyone is obsessed with sauce,” Christophe Poirier, KFC’s director of new concepts, said in a statement. “With Saucy, we took KFC’s famous original recipe and amplified it with a completely new concept that allows consumers to play with flavors. »

Here are the 11 sauces available:

• Chimichurri Ranch

• Péri Péri Ranch

• Jalapeño Pesto Ranch

• Smoked Bacon Ranch

• Sweet and Spicy Thai

• Sweet and saucy BBQ

• Saucy Sauce

• Spicy mango chutney

• Saucy Ranch

• Creole Honey Mustard

• Sweet Teriyaki

When does Saucy open?

Excellent news, you won’t have to wait long: Saucy opens this Friday, December 20.

Where is Saucy located?

Currently, the first and only Saucy exists in Orlando, Florida, opening in the space of a former KFC at 502 S. Alafaya Trail.

Is Saucy going to be expensive?

You’d expect a new concept like this to see a significant increase, but at Saucy you can get a combo of three tenders with a toasted bun, fries, medium drink and a choice of sauce for $7.99. This gets Cheapism’s seal of approval.
